Dude i totally found the actual way to do it, and here it is. All you need to do is, on your Iphone..and mine is a 4s btw ...Go to a playlist, then tap on the Edit button (there should be an edit button, a clear, and then a delete button..Click the Edit), after you've done that then you'll see a + sign on the top right appear...tap that then it actually takes you to your library..showing you plus signs next to each song..just tap the + then there you go..you've added a song to whichever playlist you wanted to add it to.=) Best of luck!!

Hi Nervinfr0mCaLi,


I think most people know how to add a song to a playlist, but it requires very many operations, scrolling through songs, etc. What I am looking for, and how it works in Spotify is when playing current song to easily highlight it and add it to a playlist. That´s only three operations and takes 5 seconds, and I do not forget the song title etc while I go through all operations, scrolls through my 7000 songs to find the right one to add etc. This is the main reason why I now mostly use Spotify. I like making lists!


I totally agree with Paperone: It is such a nuisance that Apple doesn't support to add the currently playing song to an existing playlist. And there are so many points in the UI where it could be integrated. Let's hope somebody from Apple reads this!

I know, and I have submittet a request several times since I prefere working with songs locally. I will try one more time, but I´ve got so uset to the Spotify UI now, so that might be the future for me anyway! Seems to me thatApple are getting so big now that their keen fokus on plain and simple UI are loosing priority. This is an obvious key feature for any music lover, very simple to make and should have been released years ago!
